[These issues – 8.1 to 9.2 - are related and should be considered together rather than as separate actions.]

We recommend the creation of a ‘Health and Welfare Action Group’.

9. Improve provision for those with a long-term illness or disability.

(see para 16)

9.1 Provide more help for those with specific needs and for their carers (eg a village ‘friends’ bureau).

9.2 Provide a better link between the village and the service providers.
